I deciphered it (and lost a few brain cells) It says "if you want something done well it's best if you do it yourself!"

Very cool, looks beautiful!

Sold at Rs 99...

Bad to the bone!

True...sadly we keep puttin' them up there!

What are your plans for the bumpers?

I see one of these (not a 2000GT but a 1400SR- single owner I'm told!) at my mechanic's. I'm actually quite fond of the Celeste! But my favourite model is the early Celeste with the circular lamps and chrome bumpers- This one is an export model, so no fender mirrors

Finally, some Rolla love! I love those panel vans!

Nailed it!

Tha van in the Rupavahini clip is definitely a LH40.

Where are you located? There's a shop near my house that has a variety of clips for sale. You have to bring one as a sample and compare what's available though.

Hmmmm...I think I may know the answer! Is it Grey in colour?

Male population:3,000 Female population:0

Awesome! I couldn't find any videos on the Tube though.

Hmm...interesting. Wasn't there a scheme where you could convert your (-) number to a modern plate at an exorbitant price?

No problems, bring her aboard! Any hints you'd like to 'drop'? EDIT: Now I'm DYING to know about SN's new acquisition! I'll be having my eager face on till I know what it is...

That White Corolla belongs to a New Zealander who will stop at nothing to get the perfect example. I've come across his build thread on Rollaclub and is a nice guy.

Lol it would be shocking if the 'curtains don't match the drapes'!

We should have a vintage Jtin meetup...I'll bring the KSev along with my friend who owns the mint, single-owner early KE72V, the two 510s can make their appearance, then there's Sampath's KE55 liftback (where's the lad anyway?), Irage's Hachi (drool!) and any other pre 1985 Japanese cars.

Those wheels look awesome! Some more photos please!

Well, it's like this- Me and a friend were invited to a party in Kottawa. This was before I had taken command of the KSev so we decided to bus it and find a ride back to Mount. So my friend the host says "my uncle in Kalutara will drop you at home, so let's party" (or something to that extent) so we did just that. I kept checking with him for this Kalutara uncle and then he tells me at 0100 "he didn't show up, he had other plans, but I'll drop you guys home". Cool, so that's sorted. Finally things begin to dwindle at 0200 so he loads the DJ equipment in his van and the six of us (DJs and his GF included) start the trip home. We travel to the depths of Kottawa residencies and drop off the DJ and his stuff and then we make it to the University junction. Then he tells us "my GF's mom is cranky that her daughter is up this late, so I'm rushing her home. You guys can take a tuk home, right? There's plenty at this hour (past 2am!), KTHXBYE! " So then starts the aimless wandering of the streets of Moratuwa in search of that elusive saviour, the tuk tuk! We couldn't find any at that time so we continued on foot till we reached the large checkpoint in Rathmalana. The cops there were very suspicious when we showed up and obviously thought we were up to no good but after a quick chat saw that we were quite sober and without a ride home. They asked us to hang around the checkpoint till a vehicle showed up so we did. After about fifteen minutes we see two tuks approaching the checkpoint. They stop and show the cops their DLs and they're about to leave when we ask them to drop us off at Mount. One wheeler agrees so in we go. Now this wheeler has a passenger in the back who is obviously out cold but we don't mind. While traveling I ask him his rates and he says "api Kurunegala yana gaman, api oyagollanwa Mount drop karannang fare ekak one naha" Fantastic! So we get off at our areas (Mount and Dehiwala) thank the wheeler guys and hit the sack at 0300 hours. Still the most memorable incident I've faced. And no, we weren't drunk! On the contrary, we were quite sober.

Always wanted to see a Defender restoration, tell us more! Davy's suggestion is excellent; register with Imageshack or Photobucket and upload them there.

Or ask someone to get one abroad (US presumably) but pay the unlocking charges (if it cannot be done by yourself). There also appears to be a lot of model numbers (GT-xxxx etc) so it's rather confusing!

LOL ain't that the truth!

Great news. Start a thread with photos, we love photos!
